Ghajini Movie 2008 Watch Movie Online Review, Trailer, Box Office Collection
Ghajini, the Tamil version, has been a massive hit and so was its dubbed Telugu version. Will the Hindi adaptation live up to the humungous expectations? The hype is unmatched and you expect no less than a present-day masterpiece. The hype and curiosity is 2 - 3 times higher than the next biggest release of the year. As spoken about before, with such hype comes huge expectations and Ghajini has certainly lived upto all the expectations. The reviews from most critics that matter has been varying from good to excellent. The initial few who have managed to watched the movie during the paid preview shows have given their verdict - two thumbs up - to Ghajini.
Ghajini demonstrates how strong film-making can enhance and elevate an already solid concept.
Ghajini is a revenge saga, one ingredient that has been the staple diet of Hindi films since time immemorial. It is a powerful film. It has the power to sweep you off your feet from the word ‘go’. It has a riveting story, which has been told with flourish by director A.R. Murugadoss. And, of course, it has a knockout performance by Aamir Khan.
Sanjay Singhania (Aamir Khan) has been hit on the head which gives him recurring bouts of amnesia, almost every fifteen minutes. He is hunting for a person named Ghajini (Pradeep Rawat), and to remember his target, he has inscribed his initials and related clues on his body, has pasted post-it notes all across his apartment and carries a Polaroid camera to click pictures of people important to him.
An investigating officer gets hold of his daily diary that gives a background account of his character. Sanjay is an affluent industrialist and falls in love with a girl named Kalpana (Asin). The diary changes hands from the inspector to a medical student (Jiah Khan) but the flashback account continues to stretch from the first half to the second with a long-drawn-out love story between the two. With ample song-dance-romance, the story is Indianized but that’s the only redeeming factor for the director fails to exploit the psychological side of the story.
The maximum fun is had by Asin, nicely curved and rounded, very far from unreal size zeroes, making her Hindi cinema debut. She plays pretty much the same role as she did in the original– loud, warm, emotional, and is the best part of the movie, but even she can’t liven up the pallid songs-and-dances. Third lead Jiah Khan, the medical student who studies the amnesiac and ends up first hindering then helping him, is a total loss– she has to speak Hindi and do an item number, and both are beyond her. The villain (Pradeep Rawat) looks like he’s a bit part stretched into something he can’t quite handle: is he the only one they could find?
Overall a Good Movie to watch, A new trend for hindi cinemas, The Big question is whether Amir Khan Suits for such action movies ?
